Gen 1:26b and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
God created us in His own image, after His own likeness. He created us to have dominion over every living thing that creeps upon the earth, over all the fish of the sea, and over all the fowl of the air. The cattle, the birds, everything was created for us to rule over. After creation, on the seventh day, God rested.
In Gen 2:15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it
The man Adam was giving an express instruction to take dominion by taken responsibility to take care of the garden and to dress it not only that in verse 19 and 20 Adam was given responsibility to name all the animals and to manage them.
Dominion to me is taken responsibility in the sphere of your influence to fulfill God’s mandate.
Though dominion defines as authority to rule, and to take control but this has not to do with oppression, exploitation and abusive power.
Dominion in the agenda of God is to lead, to take charge, to care for, to manage, and to represent God on earth. In other words you are expected to have dominion in your place of authority. You are to have dominion In your business, in your place of work, in political or religions office, as a students and most importantly in unleashing your natural endowment to bless your world.
You are here to have DOMINION?
Having dominion start with:
Knowing the mind of God for your life
Knowing what you are here to achieve or do
Following the instruction of God to the latter
Be focus in your journey to fulfillment
I will be doing an expository study on the life of Daniel as an example of someone who really takes dominion even in slavery.
Daniel was taken captive to Babylon by king Nebuchadnezzar. It happened that the king is in search of children in whom there is no blemish, but well favoured, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace and who they might teach the learning and tongue of the Chaldeans. Daniel, Hannaniah, Misheal, and Azariah were found suitable to meet the king’s specifications.
Special portion of food and wine was appointed for them to be well nourished for the space of three years before presenting them to the king.
WHAT DOES THAT TYPE OF MEAL DOES TO A DESTINY?
It makes you forget where you are coming from.
It makes you forget where you are going.
It makes you to relax.
It kills your thinking.
It kills your destiny
It makes you forget that God exist.
But Daniel and companion purposed in their heart that they will not defile themselves with the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank and they decided to be on what we may called fasting.
BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED
After ten days Daniel and his companion were found better presented than those who did it the king’s meat.
I WAS THINKING HOW COULD THIS BE?
